Chapter 1137
Felix was irritated—after all, who would not be with a gun pointed at their head? Of course, for most people, the feeling would be sheer terror.Still, he did not act recklessly. In Dragonia, guns were mostly carried by law enforcement, and he did not want to risk harming an undercover officer by mistake. To his surprise, the person holding the gun was Milo. He remembered her well from the days of the Martial Arts Competition—she was a close friend of Ronan's.He blurted out, "Milo?"Milo closed the door and lowered the gun, her expression as calm as ever. She wore simple jeans and a T-shirt, and the sword she was once known for was nowhere in sight."Never thought our first meeting after your return would be under circumstances like this," he added.Once Milo confirmed that it was Felix, she let out a small sigh and stated, "Ronan—" Felix raised a hand to cut her off. "Don't worry about Ronan. I promise he'll come back safe in a year. He's with my sister now. Other than losin
Chapter 1138
As soon as Milo left, Suzie hesitated for a moment before speaking nervously. "I'm sorry, sir. Did I make your girlfriend misunderstand? I can explain everything to her if you want."She had only caught a few glimpses of Milo but already felt completely out of place. With that kind of beauty and presence, Milo was the kind of woman who could leave others breathless—maybe only someone like her was truly worthy of a good man like Felix.Felix replied, "It's fine. Besides, she's not my girlfriend."A few minutes later, the guy with Eddy showed up, perfectly embodying the phrase "money talks". His eager, bootlicking smile was not fake—it was the real deal."Sir, is Suzie refusing to cooperate?" he asked, shooting Suzie a nasty glare. If Felix had not been there, he probably would have gone straight to roughing her up.Felix replied, "No. Suzie told me she owes you guys money. With the interest, it's up to half a million now, right? I already paid 200 thousand—I'll cover the remaining

Eddy froze, completely thrown off by the question. However, he did not dare delay, quickly responding, "Mr. Bennett, wasn't it half a million dollars?"Draco let out a cold snort. "Pathetic. You're so short-sighted. I know exactly what happened."That stranger forked over half a million to buy Suzie's freedom—someone willing to pay that much without hesitation definitely has more. And you just handed over the contract without trying to squeeze a single extra dime out of him? What a damn waste."So that was what this was about. Eddy was even more confused now—if they demanded more, he figured Felix would realize what they were doing. Plus, Suzie knew the exact amount of the debt."Tomorrow, take some guys and bring Suzie back," Draco ordered, his tone sharp. "That kid's a walking goldmine. I want to see how much more we can milk out of that rich idiot."Eddy's stomach twisted with unease. Summoning some courage, he said, "Mr. Bennett, that guy dropped half a million without blinkin

Felix thought Milo's explanation made sense. They chatted for a little while longer before Milo left Notura City.After she was gone, Felix sat at home, deep in thought. Since the Malevolent Phantoms's hunting ground was clearly hotels, maybe Eddy could actually be useful. Felix could not be everywhere at once, and without any pattern to the Malevolent Phantoms's hotel selection—even small motels had been targeted—there were simply too many places to cover.He mumbled, "It looks like it's time to implement my plan. I need a job that allows me to work in hotels."The only job that came to mind was food delivery. Delivery drivers had access to hotels, motels, and inns across the city without raising suspicion.Just as Felix was stepping out, his phone buzzed with a call from an unknown number. Confused, he answered."Hello, sir," said the voice on the other end. "This is about the payment you made last night at the barbecue stand. There seems to be an issue. Could you come by for

"Averill, I can assure you, your cycle is perfectly normal."In the courtyard of Tranquil Clinic in Eden Village, Felix Zeller slowly lifted his right hand with a look of helplessness.Before him stood six beautiful women, each with a unique charm. They were smiling as they patiently waited in line."But Felix, I don't feel well. Why don't you come to my room and do a thorough checkup?" Averill Davis said suggestively.Felix smiled wryly.Ever since his mentor, Gerald Hoffman, brought him to this village three years ago, he had faced constant teasing from these women, his fellow apprentices.Although he had gotten used to it, it was still tough to handle, especially when they were so alluring."Averill, don't push your luck.""Exactly! It's my turn now. Step aside. Don't even dream about having Felix all by yourself."As Leslie Brown sat in front of him, Felix sighed and pleaded, "Please, can't you all be more like Eloise, Dahlia, and Karina? Focus on your training and stop wa

By the time Felix stepped out of his room, everyone was already gone. With his departure, his fellow apprentices likely wouldn't stay in Eden Village either.Thinking about it made Felix fume. Three years ago, Gerald had brought him here and then disappeared without a trace. It was utterly irresponsible of him.The sounds of knocking pulled Felix from his thoughts.He looked up to see several unfamiliar faces standing at the courtyard gate. Even though the gate was open, they hadn't entered, showing some degree of politeness.Felix walked over and noticed a few Mercedes G-Wagons parked outside the clinic. Evidently, these were wealthy individuals."Excuse me. Is the miracle doctor here?" asked a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses, looking very refined. His name was Vincent Kinsley."The miracle doctor left this place almost three years ago."Vincent's face fell. The miracle doctor was a legend in Dragonia's medical world. He was their last hope, and now, he was gone.Besi

While Xena loved Curtis dearly and had tried every means to cure him, a troubling thought crept into her mind: she hoped he wouldn't wake up at this moment.That was because Felix was insufferable. Not only was he useless, but he also dared to act superior in front of a goddess of war like her. He clearly had no idea who he was dealing with.Felix didn't respond to her condescending remarks. Instead, he rushed over to check Curtis' pulse, his expression growing serious. "It's the Phantom Poison. No wonder."Xena frowned. "Are you saying Grandpa's been poisoned?""That's right. It's the most potent Phantom Poison there is. If it had been detected earlier, I could have neutralized it immediately. But it's been over a year, and it has become more complicated."We need some rare herbs to treat it. Thankfully, the master healers you contacted did a decent job. Though they couldn't remove the poison, they managed to keep him alive."Xena's expression twisted with a mix of emotions. "Lo

"Please, Dr. Fielding! Save my father. I'll give anything!" Vincent pleaded desperately.Bernard's life was crucial for the family, and as his son, Vincent was willing to do whatever it took.Xander sighed. "Your father will not make it through the night. But since I'm here, you have another option. I can extend his life by a month. Decide quickly."Before Vincent could respond, Bernard croaked out with great struggle, "D-Do it."Vincent quickly agreed. Prolonging Bernard's life for a month was better than losing him now.Meanwhile, Wendy had slipped out of the room, looking visibly torn as she held her phone. She remembered the phone number Felix had given them earlier that day due to her sharp memory."Grandpa, I'll do anything for you," she murmured, her face set with determination.…At a certain residential area in Avesburgh, Felix stood in front of a three-story villa, feeling a mix of emotions. It had been three years since he last saw Warren Quinton.Warren had been hi
